How the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami Changed Our Understanding of Disaster Preparedness
In short: The devastating tsunami of December 2004 left behind a wealth of geological evidence. This video examines how researchers analyze these traces to improve our ability to anticipate and mitigate the impact of future seismic events.
The catastrophic event that occurred on December 26, 2004, provided scientists with critical data that continues to shape modern disaster science. By studying the physical record left by such massive waves, experts are refining models to better prepare global communities for the risks posed by future tsunamis.
This research was featured as part of an exhibition on natural disasters hosted by the American Museum of Natural History, which ran from mid-November 2014 until early August 2015.
